Google just added a new feature to its popular Calendar app called “Focus Sessions.” This feature helps people concentrate on their work better. It uses a method known as the Pomodoro Technique. This technique breaks work into smaller chunks. People work hard for a set time. Then they take a short break. This pattern repeats. It helps fight distractions and tiredness.

The new “Focus Sessions” tool builds this timer right into Google Calendar. Users can set how long they want to work. They can also set how long their breaks should be. Typical work periods are 25 or 50 minutes. Breaks are often 5 or 10 minutes. People can choose times that fit their needs.
When someone starts a Focus Session, a timer begins counting down. The Calendar app shows this timer clearly. This helps users see how much time is left. It reminds them to stay on task. After the work time ends, the app signals break time. When the break finishes, it prompts users to start working again.
